Japanese Mobile Phone Firms to Study Health Risks
The back and forth on whether or not mobile phones are a health risk continues. The latest news is that Japan's four mobile phone companies are going to study the potential harmful effects of exposure to radio waves. Of course, this will just add yet another conflicting study to the pile of studies that always show different results. The fact that this study is sponsored by companies that benefit from mobile phones also suggests a bias that will find its way into the study.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
